“beautifull place”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 November 2011

I've been there in 2007, the owner, Alain is so polite, the place is simple but clean and beautifull. I think it's the best pension in rangiroa and it's surely much more cheaper than hotel as kia ora that is on the same beach. Definally i suggest this place if you don't want to stay in a over rated 4 stars hotel!

Ia Orana Andrea,
what a surprise ! Almost 5 years already and the pleasure to read comments from you !

I am delighted to read that the services met your expectations and that you enjoyed the atmosphere of our familly hotel.
Thank you to point out than pension Bounty has the same beach than the Kia Ora Hotel and that our structure is simple but nevertheless clean and comfortable.
Since 2007 we have changed several pieces of furniture: matresses, safety box, deck chairs are now the same than those that equipped several 4 stars hotels in Polynesia. But our prices are always a lot much cheaper, don't worry ! ! !

Mauru'uru roa dear Andrea, I really appreciate your taking the time to post your compliments and I hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back soon.
Saluti cordiali
Alain

“Very nice place”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 November 2011

Very nice pension, clean and comfortable, placed nearby the very nice Kia Ora beach. The staff is very prepared (the owner speaks five or six languages...) and can help you with the organization of whatever trip you want to have. Bicycles are free of charge and is quite fun to ride up and down the island.

“Great place!”

person found this review helpful

Pension bounty has a perfect location: near the only beach of Avatoru, and at walking distance from Tiputa Pass, which is the nicest place! Alain (the owner) does anything he can to let you feel comfortable, and he is very successful in this :-D!! Rooms are very nice and perfectly clean. Complimentary Wifi is an additional bonus. Recommended!

“We enjoyed staying there and would go back!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 July 2011

Everything including the accommodations seems to be very expensive in French Ploynesia. Pension Bounty is a reasonable place to stay especially for scuba divers and families because the multi-lingual (French, English, Italian and some Japanese) owner host was so friendly and kind to the guests. Fish-oriented dinners were good as well if you chose the half-board accmmodation style. I will upload my original video to introduce it for YouTube in the near future.

Room Tip: Since it's so popular, you should book it far in advance.

“Pension Bounty - recommended”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 July 2011

We were a group of 6 and stayed at the Bounty in June for one week diving. As we invested 3 of the available 4 rooms, we nearly had the pension on our own. The Bounty is nice and quite, and Alain has formed a beautiful garden with tropical plants. The rooms are clean and have everything you need (even mosquito nets). Each room has a terrace with brandnew sunloungers. Dinner is good (fresh Fish preferred) and Alain does not refuse any wish. Bikes are free to explore the island by your own. Alain is always willing to help you planning special trips (e.g. to the Blue Lagoon or finding the best Diving Center). Alain himself is an advanced diver and if you do not find him around his pension, he may probably be under water looking out for some tiger sharks! :)
Altogether we really enjoyed our stay at Rangiroa!

Dear "Sumbelino" and the group,
Thank you for sharing your experience with us and potential travelers, we really appreciate it. It was a real pleasure to receive your group of German Scuba Divers and share our common passion: diving.
Our rooms are indeed comfortable and well equipped as long as you keep in mind that Pension Bounty is a familly hotel and not a 4 stars hotel.
We are always pleased when we know our guests leave with fond memories of their stay!
Please come back soon !
Cordially
Alain
